The episode opens with Dr. Surva delivering the news to Pradhan that Neil has made significant progress in his recovery and is now ready to be discharged from the hospital. Vinod, concerned about Neil’s condition, inquires about when Neil might regain his memory. Dr. Surva explains that the swelling in Neil’s brain needs to subside before any improvement in his memory can be expected, a process that could take days, weeks, or even months.
Leena expresses her strong opposition to allowing Savi near Neil, fearing for his well-being. However, Dr. Surva advises the family against this decision, emphasizing the importance of Savi’s presence for Neil’s mental and emotional recovery. He warns that removing Savi from Neil’s life at this critical juncture could have detrimental effects on his healing process.
Despite her reservations, Leena insists on exploring other medical opinions, expressing her unwillingness to have Savi involved in Neil’s care. Dr. Surva acknowledges their right to seek a second opinion but challenges them to consider what is more important: their animosity towards Savi or their love for Neil.
Vinod and Bhushan join forces to persuade Leena to allow Savi to remain with Neil for the sake of his recovery. After much deliberation, Leena reluctantly agrees, prioritizing Neil’s well-being. Vinod expresses his gratitude to Dr. Surva and reassures him that they will keep the truth about Neil’s condition hidden from him.
Upon returning home, Leena performs a traditional nazar utarna ritual to welcome Neil back. He asks her to perform the same ritual for Savi and the children, which she does, completing the welcoming ceremony with an aarti before ushering them inside.
Leena instructs Neil to rest at home until he fully recovers, reminding him to ring a bell if he needs anything. Neil, in a lighthearted manner, reassures her that he is well taken care of by his wife, alleviating some of Leena’s worries.
Amruta brings Neil a glass of hot turmeric milk, reminding him that she used to give it to him whenever he was unwell. Confused, Neil struggles to remember who she is, prompting Vinod to explain their family ties. Leena, overwhelmed with emotion, steps away from the scene as Neil apologizes for not recalling anything about his past.
As the family members leave to give Neil some privacy, Savi informs him that she will provide him with his medicine after lunch. Neil, puzzled by his inability to remember Savi’s name, reflects on his situation, acknowledging her beauty but feeling a sense of loss for not recalling her identity. He gazes at her, and Savi, sensing his confusion, asks if he needs anything.
In a tender moment, Neil approaches Savi and gently adjusts her hair, admitting that he cannot remember her name. When Savi is about to respond, he stops her, expressing his frustration over not remembering someone he has lived with for years. He decides not to ask her for her name, opting instead to call her “Biwi” until he can remember. Savi agrees to this new name, and Neil feels fortunate to have such an understanding partner by his side.
Savi then suggests that Neil change his clothes. As he walks to the cupboard, he selects a shirt and shows it to her, receiving an approving nod in return. Noticing the absence of Savi and the children’s belongings in the room, Neil inquires about it. Savi quickly fabricates a story, explaining that the room is undergoing renovations and their belongings are temporarily stored elsewhere, promising to bring them back soon. Neil accepts her explanation and heads off to freshen up.
Meanwhile, Savi spots a photo of Teju on the drawer and makes a silent promise to her that she will never replace her in Neil’s life. She resolves to leave once Neil has fully recovered and discreetly hides the photo.
In another part of the house, Sai questions Manjari about how long they will be staying there and when they will return to Granny Bhagyashree’s place. Savi arrives and reassures Sai that they will remain there for a few days until Neil is better, encouraging her to call Neil “Pookie Papa” during this time. Sai initially resists, insisting that Rajat is her father, but Savi explains that it is merely a temporary measure for Neil’s recovery. Ultimately, Sai agrees to the arrangement, and Savi seeks Manjari’s assistance in the matter.
Precap
In the upcoming scenes, Neil attempts to give Savi a goodnight kiss, signaling a shift in their relationship dynamics as he navigates his feelings and memories.
